Thanks guys. I did that and then learned that subsequently a number of other things needs to be done: 1. After replacing with the older airportd file, permissions on the file must be set to 775. 2. Remove the quarantine flag:xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /user/libexec/airportd 3. Run myHack - myFix to correct the caches and address any permissions issue throughout. Also to note I successfully re-branded the card with the advice on this forum. Found it fairly easy. Worked a treat. But didn't solve the issue I of "Connection failed: Timeout". But replacing the airportd with an older version worked.

all seems to work in windows. Luckily I had a spare old hdd with a windows install on. Seems fine. So I resorted to re-installing the mountain lion 10.8.4 again. This time the wifi still didn't work out of box. HOWEVER - I then ran EDP but this time selected just the BCM4310 kext from the list. It didn't say Mountain Lion beside this one but it seemed more like the Dell Broadcom 1490 I have. Well the wifi icon now appeared in the menu bar. All seemed ok apart from I cant connect to any WPA or encrypted network. A non encrypted network seems fine. But WPA it won't touch - just says "incorrect password" and then went round in loops saying Failed to connect - time out occurred". Hmmnn. Now downloading Ubuntu and trying to see if I can rebrand the card as per the instructions on this website. Any other ideas please?

Hi All - After installing ML and latest EDP a few days ago, I realised I had the Intel wifi card. So I went on ebay, bought a dell broadcom 1490. Popped it in the laptop. Noticed three antenna cables for the intel and only two for broadcom so used white and black and insulation taped the grey. Enabled internal wifi in bios (a15). Booted into ML. Nothing, no wifi icon in menu, still only ethernet lan working. So I re-ran EDP and configured it to install the broadcom bcm4352 kext. Still nothing. What am I doing wrong? How can I get this broadcom 1490 to work? I bought it because I thought it would just be plug and play and it would automatically be supported in ML? Many thanks - really hoping you can help. J

Nice one MacMacMac. Will do that. Good tip. Thank you.

OK - problem solved. Needed to add PCIRoot=1 It then passed that point and installed. Although I got an installation failed message at the end. But after a reboot it loaded up ok.

Hi all - Really hoping someone could help please. Spec of machine and bios settings at the bottom. Just purchased OSX from the apple app store - Mountain Lion 10.8.4. So this is a genuine OS - not a torrent download. Followed the instructions on this website exactly to create an install USB pen disk using myHack and then myHack again to install the ML Extras for the M4300 listed and downloading from this web site. The myHack program appeared to all run smoothly. USB inserted into the M4300, boots up to Chameleon correctly. I then use-v (verbose). It goes through lots of files very quickly, then switches to a solid black background and more work is done. It then suddenly goes to a totally black screen with no writing and appears to hang (numlock light doesn't come on or off). I left it there for a long while and it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Problem is that the last message on the black screen before the whole screen goes black happens so quickly I can't see what it got stuck on. Is there a log file or something I could look at to help someone here find out the problem? Any ideas please? Spec and settings: Dell M4300. 4gb ram. Intel core 2 duo. Nvidia Quadro FX360. Bios A15. Bios settings : AHCP = ON LAN = Tried both on and off - no difference WIFI = Tried both on and off - no difference Wake on lan = OFF Dynamic CPU = OFF Intel Speedstep = on
